“I determined to change my life and I did. It was not always easy. It still isn’t always easy. Sometimes, there were challenges and it seemed like I may lose my way. I’d get sidetracked or off course, caught up and I’d forget what’s important. I’d get hooked.
At some point, I realized it’s my decision. It’s kind of like a guilty pleasure, but without the pleasure part. You know, when you know you shouldn’t be doing something but you do it anyway. Whatever it is. Maybe you shouldn’t have that extra helping but you do.
You sneak an extra piece of chocolate. You feel guilty. Maybe, guilty isn’t exactly the right word. It isn’t guilt sometimes. You just know there is a better way of being or thinking or behaving. At some point, I become aware that I am off base and I need to get back on.

I know it is up to me but sometimes I didn’t feel like correcting myself, BUT I do it anyway (because I have since learned how to). I course correct. I’ve learned how to make changes or shift from the negative, even if and when I don’t feel like it. I trained myself.
You can too. Just because things are going on around me that are not to my liking, even if everything is crumbling, I do not have to think negative thoughts, or feel bad or respond as I would have in the past. Oh, that was something else I did a lot of.
I used to live in the past aggrandizing the good old days or lamenting what was or what never came to be. I gave that up to. LIFE IS TOO SHORT to drag around a history of hurt and disappointment OR live as though those days were better and today can’t compare. Stop it!

I decided I needed to change what I paid attention to. I realized, FINALLY, that the past was over and whether it was good or bad there was nothing I could do about it now. I could enjoy my present or not and I could plan my future, or not. Live this moment!
I learned I could not do one thing about the past. It was over. I did learn I could recode the memories. I could decide they were there for me to learn and benefit from instead of moan about or long for. I could use the past to be better while not living in the past.
SO, I set my focus on what I wanted my present and consequently future to be. I realized that where I am today is a result of everything I thought and felt and did, or didn’t do, in the past. My today, is a product of my previous thinking. I’m here due to what happened.

I am where I am because I created it. It didn’t matter to me then, and it still doesn’t matter now, whether any of this is true or not. It doesn’t have to be true. It really doesn’t. What it is – is useful. It is a frame of mind that I adopted as a choice. You have the same choice.
Because when I have choice I have more control over the results in my life. True or not, I don’t care. So, I decided to focus on where I want to be and create that instead. I focus on what I want and stay focused on that regardless of what is going on now. Get this!
I imagine my future how I want it to be, I imagine I have it all in place, and I live from the feeling of the wish fulfilled. My future is now. I act in the present as if everything I want I already have. This is what I concentrate on throughout each day. If I can do this, you can too. Learn to change your thoughts and transform your life.
